Product Description

Judaism and Christianity have had a volatile relationship in their two-thousand-year history. Anger, rivalry, insensitivity, bloodshed and murder have marred the special connection these two Abrahamic faiths share. In the last decades, scholars, activists, laypeople and clergy have attempted to expose and eliminate the struggles between Jews and Christians. The collaborative effort brings together the voices of Christian scholar, Ron Miller, and Jewish scholar, Laura Bernstein, to further explore the roots of anti-Semitism in Christian faith and scripture. In probing interfaith dialogue, Miller and Bernstein trace the Jewish - Christian schism to its very source in the first book of the new Testament, the "Gospel of Matthew". Illuminating the often misunderstood context of Matthew's gospel - a persecuted Christian minority writing some sixty years after Jesus' death - this examination of a foundational Christian text discerns the ways in which the Jewishness of Jesus was forgotten and Jews and Judaism became Christianity's foil. More important, it takes a renewed look at Matthew with contemporary retellings that present a new and better future of conciliation and compassion between the two faith traditions.
